It is possible to start in the summer, when a second section of Critical Thinking and some electives are traditionally offered, and finish the next spring, but most students take four or five regular semesters.
To see which CCT electives are to be offered, check website for upcoming semesters' offerings and provisional longer-term plans.
Matriculated students MUST get the permission of the Program co-ordinator to take on-line versions of courses that are also offered face-to-face. We want our M.A. students to be part of the face to face community, so permission will be grantedonly in exceptional circumstances (such as the
student has moved to California and needs that course to graduate).
Please complete and submit the following. You will not be bound by this plan, but it will help the Program plan well and avoid cancellation of courses. Keep a copy for yourself.
